. Our invention relates to improvements l'in sewing-machines, the present machine being particularly designed for sewing wax-thread; but the machine is in no wise limited to such use.

l Our object is to provide an improved and efhcient machine of the character indicated.

To this end our invention consists in the various matters hereinafter described and claimed.

We have herein illustrated and described the shuttle-actuating mechanism and the presserbar-actuating mechanism; but claims to these subjects-matter are not herein made, as the shuttle-actuating mechanism forms the basis of our application, Serial No. 144,318, filed February 20,1903, and the presser-bar-actuating mechanism forms the basis of our Patent No.7 51,263, granted February 2, 1904, the application for said patenthaving been filed February 20, 1903.

Referring now more particularly to the drawings, A indicates the supporting-standard, which has upper and lower extensions 1 and 2, respectively, between which the work is adapted to be placed, a head 3 being secured to the upper extension 1 and the work-table and certain of the operating parts being connected to the front of the lower extension 2.

B indicates the driving-shaft, here shown as provided with a pulley L, and C indicates the work-table. I

D represents the awl; E, the presser-foot; F, the stitch-indenting tool, and G the devices for laying the thread across the needle to enable the same to be caught by the barb.

` H indicates the needle, and I refers to the shuttle. y

, J isla member which enters the loop to primarily spread the same and also serves to carry the loop from the needle, (we shall for convenience herein term this device the loopcarrier or take-off?) and K indicates the loop-spreader.

L indicates the take-up.

In Figs. 1, 2, 4, and 9 the parts are illustrated in what may be termed their positions of rest -e'. e., the positions assumed by them after the completion of a cycle of operations. Assuming that the work Wis upon the worktable, and referring to Figs. 19 and 20 in connection with the figures just above indicated, as the shaft B commences to rotate the awl descends slightly and then commences to rise, the stitch-indenting tool rising with the awl, the needle commencing to rise and the take-11p moving backwardly in order to take up the loop of the last stitch andto measure ofin the -thread for the stitch about to be formed. As

the needle about reaches the end of its upward movement the presser-foot rises. Fig. 19 shows in full lines the parts in the positions just indicated. The needle shifts horizontally in order to feed the work, the needle moving forwardly into position under the stitch-indenting tool. The presser-foot then falls, and while theneedle is in its projected position through the work the thread-laying devices move to lay the thread in position to be engaged by the barb as the needle descends, the take-up moving forwardly during the threadlaying movement of the thread-layingdevices in order to pay out sufficient thread to form one side of the open loop, which will be produced in the manner hereinafter described. rlhe dotted lines of Fig. 19 indicate the positions occupied by the needle, the presser-foot, the thread-laying devices, and the two threads` as the needleis about to descend. 'lhe needle then descends and engages what we shall term the upper thread,the thread-laying devices moving into normal position and the take-up moving forwardly to pay out suiiicient thread to permit the formation of the open loop without pulling the thread across the needle, and after the needle has descended to a point bclow the loop take-off J this loop take-olf enters the loop, the loop-spreader K entering said loop at the same time, Fig. 2) illustrating the parts in thcpositions justindicated. lhe needle then rises slightly and the loop-spreader moves into open position, the upward'movement of the needle being sufficient to carry its barb into a slot in the loop-carrier or take-oli", and the loop-spreader not only spreading the loop to permit the entrance of the point of the Shuttle, but also laying the loop across the under side of the loop-carrier, as shown in Fig. 24. The shuttle has meanwhile started to rotate and its point enters the open loop, as shown in Fig. 25. rl`he loop-spreader closes, the loop-carrier recedes in order to carry the loop away' from the needle, and the needle descends free of the upper thread, as shown in Fig. 26. The needle continues to descend until it reaches its lowermost position and moves backwardly into position ready to again pierce the work, while the shuttle rotates, as shown in Fig. 27, and comes to rest in the position shown in Fig. 28. The take-11p has meanwhile paid out sufficient thread to permit the loop to be carried around by the shuttle and then recedes in order to take up the loop which has caught the bobbin o1' under thread in a man ner which will be readily understood, Fig. Q8 showing the loop before it has been drawn taut. As the take-up completes its loop-d rawing movement the awl and the stitch-indenting tool descend, the stitch-indenting tool operating over the stitch whose formation has been above described and the awlpiercing the work preparatory to the formation of' the stitch next following that whose formation has just been described.

For convenience of description we have referred to the thread which is engaged by the needle as the upper thread and to the thread from the bobbin as the lower thread, and we shall hereinafter refer to these threads by such IOO llO

terms. We do not, however, mean to,imply by theseterms thatv thethreadengaged by the d needle is necessarily above the .bobbin-thread or that the so-calle-d lower thread is necessarily below the so-called upper thread.,

The general organizationand operation of i the machine being understood, we .shall describe itsv construction and operation more in detail. M i Upon the mainshaft B are cam-disks 4 and v5, and it isfby means of these that rpoweris transmittedto the operative elements of the machine.

The awl-bar 6^isl supported in the head 8 to reciprocate vertically, the awl D being secured tosaid bar in-any convenientA manner. The stitch-indenting.tool-bar 7 is also* supported in theL head-3 to reciprocate vertically,and upon. the said bar is fixed a plate 8, which is- `provided with 'an opening through which the awl-bar is slidable, a spring 9 coiled about the stitch-indenting tool-bar lying between .the

said plate 8 and a suitable portion of the head. I v This .plate 8 is, in effect, a double collar encir-` cling both the awl-bar and the stitch-indenting tool-bar. The stitch-indenting tool F'is'secured to its bar in any suitable manner.l The `presser-bar 10, parallel-with the awl-bar and the vstitch indenting tool-bar, is also supported in `the head 3'to reciprocate Avertically and is Iyieldinglyheld in lowermost position upon the'worlz, as by meansof a spring'll, coiled: about said pressure-bar land lying between a collar 12 upon said bar and some suit-- able .portion of the machine-head.v The presser-foot E is secured toits bar in any suit-k able manner and has a slot 13,l through which the awl and the stitch-indenting tool are adaptedto operate, the needle also being adapted to extend into said slotand to'move therein in order to feedfthe work. Thestitch-indenting v tool is a member separate from the presserfoot or any other part of the machine,being an independent mem ber', and its operation, adjustment,an l repair can*y therefore be eected without interference by 'other parts,y as results when the stitch-indenting .tool is a partof the presser-foot. The location of the stitch-indenting tool and the general arrangement and operation of the devicespermits this stitch indenting tool'to operate upon a finished stitchl i at the distanceofonly one stitch .behind the point at which the awl and needle pierce the work and directly over the stitch to be operated upon, whereby even when lthe vwork is being turnedor otherwise thrown out of a straight line the stitch-indenting tool descends into the line in which the stitch to be operated upon was formed, thus producing a neat and satis.

factory finish.- In those instances in'which the stitch-indenting tool operates somel distance from the stitch being formed it not infrequently happens that thestitch-indenting tool operates entirelyl outside of the liney including the stitch.

vsaid pin.

The Mead-laying dem0es--Journaled in the lowerportion 14 of the head 3 are Vertical oscillatory shafts 15 and 16, each of which carries a horizontal arm 17 and 18, respectively, lthe'arm 17 lying above the arm18 and being-provided with a thread-eye 19.` The arm 18 in its edge adjacent the thread-eyeof thel said arm 17 when the parts are in normal position is provided with a notch 20. The

'upper thread :n passes through the said eye 19, so that the arm 17 is a thread4carrier, and

in the normal p'ositionof the parts, as shown by full lines in Fig. y6', this thread-carrier and the coperating arm 18 lie out of the way of the awl, the stitch .-'indentingtooh andthe 'presser-foot and said thread-carrier holds the thread out ofthe way of said parts,jthe arm 18 being 'held in a position 'which may be termed in rear ofthe'upper thread and out of engagement therewith. Pivotedto the head of the machine are levers'v or rock-.plates 21 `and l22, each of which is 'providedlwith a slot' having what may be termed a concentric b portion 23 and an eccentric portlon 241.

yThese levers or rock-plates have at their lower ends substantially universal connection with links 25 and 26', which are respectivelypiv-Y' voted toorank-arms 27 Aand 428 uponV the oscillatory shafts 15 and 16, the connection between a link and rock-platebeing here shown as produced by a pin 29 extending into the vinoperative position the rock-arm liesin almost lowermost position with its studs in the lower portions of the concentric portions ofI the slotsin the rock-plates. As the rockarm is rocked upwardly the'studs move idly in thel concentric portionsv'of the rock-.plate slots and then engage the eccentric portions .of said slots, whereby vsaid rock-plates are rocked, the rock-plate 22 rocking slightlyiii advance of the plate 21.5 As these plates rock the oscillatory shafts 15 and 16 are moved about their axes, theV shaft `16 moving first,

whereby the thread-spreading arm' 18 first engages theupp'erthread in its notch 20,.and.

said .arm and the thread-carrier17"thenfmove oppositely across the vertical plane' including` the needle (which has-been raised) in order to lay the thread upon theneedle, as shownv by dotted lines iny Fig. 6, the threadw being laid under the barb, as shown by vdotted lines in Fig. 19. VAs the rock-arm rocks'downwardly the thread-layingA devices areV returned tol their normal positions. (Indicated by full linesin Fig. 6.) l

bail 33, between whose arms is pivoted a lifting-bar 34, whose inner end is provided with Between the presser-bar and the inner end of said liftingbar and upon the side of the presser-bar opposite to that engaged by the said yoke is a block 36, whose lifting-bar-engaging surface 37 preferably conforms to the said cam-surface 35. The upper portion of said block is preferably provided with overhanging edges 38, which rest upon the arms of the bail and also upon the lifting-bar, whereby said block is supported, and extending from the lower portion of said block and upon the side of the pivotal center of the lifting-bar opposite that -upon which the inner end of said bar lies is a stop or rest 39, the lifting-bar when in its releasing position coming .to rest between the said stop 39 and the overhanging lip 38,where by the downward movement of the free end of the lifting-bar about its pivot is limited. The bail 33 normally rests upon some suitable portion, as 40, of the head 3.

Depending from the rock-arm 31 is an arm 41, which carries a projection 42, (preferably a rollen) lying under and adapted at certain times to engage the under surface of the outer portion of said lifting-bar 34, while also depending from the rock-arm 31 is a pivoted arm 43, which has a lower angular extension 44, provided with a member, preferably an adjustable set pin or screw 45, lying below and inline with the block 36. The arm 43 is preferably held in its desired position engaging the presser-bar, in order to be guided thereby, by aspring 46, connected to said arm and to As the rock-arm rises the roller 42 engages the'lifting-bar 34, and as it rocks said lifting bar about its pivot the presser-bar is clamped between the bail and the block 36, whereby in the further upward rocking of said rock-arm 31 the presser-bar vis lifted in a manner which will be apparent.

The releasing-arm 43 is farther from the center of oscillation of the rock-arm 31 than is the locking-arm 41, whereby for the same amount of movement of the rock-arm 31 the releasing-arm 43- travels a greater distance than does the locking-arm 41. Thus at the desired point in the upward movement of the rock-arm 31 the screw or pin 45 engages the block 36, (preferably upon an inclined surface 47,) and thus lifts the said block and releases the rpresser-bar, whereupon the spring 11 forces the presser-.bar downwardly.

T/Le general operati/)fn 0f the rock-(00171731 cmd 0f #reparte cont/rolled hereby-7e have previously explained the operative connections between the rock-arm 31 and the threadlaying devices and between said rock-arm and plate 8 is an abutment 48, to which is pivotal] y connected a block 49, which lies and operates in a slot 50 in the said rock-arm 31, so that as the said rock-arm rises the awl-bar is elevated by means of the engagement between the said block 49 and the said rock-arm, and, furthermore, during the upward movement of the rock-arm the abutment 48 engages the under surface of the plate 8, and thus elevates the stitch-indenting tool against the force of the spring 9. As the rock-arm descends the awl is positively lowered, and the spring 9 forces the stitch-indenting tool into lowermost position in engagement with the work, the described connection between the stitchindenting tool-bar and the awl-bar insuring the elevation of the stitch-indenting tool, but permitting the awl to have its full movement notwithstanding the fact that because of the thickness of the work the stitch-imlenting tool may come to rest in a relatively high position. At the rear end of the rock-shaft 30 is a second rock-arm, 51, whose free end is provided with a cam-roll 52, entering the camgroove 53 in one face of the cam-disk 4, this cam-groove being shown most clearly in Fig. 33. With the parts in what we have termed their normal positions, as shown in Fig. 4, the said cam-roll 52 rests in the portion of the cam-groove 53 in which said roll is shown by dotted lines in Fig. 33. As the cam starts the arm 31 is rocked downwardly slightly in order to complete the piercing movement of the awl, the studs 32 moving idly in the rockplate slots, the roller 42 moving idly away from the lifting-bar 34, and the abutment 48 moving idly away froln the plate 8. '.lhe camdisk 4 continuing to rotate, the rook-arm 31 is moved upwardly, thus raising the awl-bar,

`raising the stitch-indenti ng tool-bar, and carrying the roll 42 closer to the lifting-bar 34, (the needle meanwhile being projected npwardly through the work in a manuel' to be hereinafter described,) and when near the upper portion of its movement the rock-arm, through the studs 32, serves to rook the roekplates 21 and 22 to lay the thread about the needle, clamps and elevates the presser-bar, and then releases the said bar, the presser-bar being raised during the time that the needle is shifting to feed the work and being released and lowered as soon as the work has been fed. rl`he rock-arm 31 is then lowered suiiieiently to bring the studs 32 again into the concentric portions of the slots in the rock-plates, such movement serving to rock said rock-plates into normal positions, and thus restore the threadlaying devices to their normal positions, this partial down-ward movement of the rock-arm merely moving the roller 42 idly away from the lifting-bar 34 and permitting only such slight downward movement of the awl-bar and the stitch-indenting tool-bar that they are still with the needle. The rock-arm 31 then rests .lOO

IIO

in'vits partially-elevated position in order to give time for the needle to descend, for the shuttle to carry the loop around the bobbinthread, and for the take-up to draw the needle-thread taut, whereupon the'rock-.arm 31 completes its downward movement to normal position', as shown in Fig; 4, thus lowering the awl to cause'the latter to piercepthe work for a new stitch; permitting the stitch-indenting tool to fall, moving its studs 32 idly. with Y respect tothe rock-plates 21 and 22, and movbar 34. f.

ing the roller `42 idly awayfrom the lifting- The needle operatc'ag .mechanism-.In the present organization the vneedle H has recipj rocation in eachof two-lines which are substantially at right angles .to each other, the reciprocations of the needle -through the work causing vthe needle to perform itsproper functions'in the formation ofthe stitch and the reciprocations of the needle in its other line of movement being concerned with the, feeding of the work.

y -A plate 54 at the front of the supportingstandard and located below the work-tableis-` provided with suitable guides 55, between which is a needle plate .or barr 56, adapted to reciprocate vertically, the needle being secured uponsaid barin any suitable manner. Whenin what. may be termed its normal position, the needle lies substantially in vertical alinement with the .awl,so thatfas the needle risesit passes through lthe hole in the starts from what we have'termed its nor-` workl produced by said awl. Suitably journaled upon the standard is a .rock-shaft 57, whose forward end is providedwith a .rockarm 58,'an elongated slot 59 being formed in the f-ree end of said rock-arm and receiving a block pivoted uponthe said needle-bar.

Theslot 59 is'of suliicient. length to permity mal position the needle rises and then re; mains in elevated position for a short time, then descends, then rises slightly,and finally descends to its lowermost position, in which it remains until ready to commence a new 1 cycle of movements.Y

The horizontal reciprocationsof the needle are now to be consideredk The before-mentioned plate 54 is horizontally slidable upon its supporting-standard, said plate conveniently having a dovetail connection with said standard, as shown at64.` v-Pivotallyllnd The rear end of the rock-v preferably removably) supported uponr said.y

shifting-plate 5 4 is an arm 65, which is ad- Justable about its pivot and is provided at what may be termed its forward end withl a block 66, adapted to enter a curved groove 67..in the outerl face of va rock-arm 68 upon a rock-shaft 69, said rock-shaft being horizontalfand suit-ablyv journaled upon the supporting-standard. Upon the rear portion ofsaid rock-shaft 69 is a rock-arm 70, provided withv acam-roll 71, which is received in a camgroove 7 2 in the cam-disk 4, said cam-groove'l .being shown most clearlyin Fig. 32. Bearing in mind the general operation of themachine and referring to said Fig. 32, it will be j seen'that starting from what we Yhave termed the normal position of the machine during the first portion of movement of the cam-disk 4 the rock-shaft 69 and the shifting-plate 54 remain inactive.

The said shifting-plate is then quickly moved forwardremains in this forward position for a time, then quickly returns to normal position, and remains in such -positiuon during the remainder of the revolu tion of thecam-disk 4.

' Considering now all movements of the nee-..- dle, and referring particularly to Figs. 30 and 32 and to the previous descriptionof the general operation of the machine, it will be seen that startingfrom the herein-indicated normal position of the parts, the needle rises while the shifting-plate is at rest, and when the needle has almoft reached its uppermost y position (in order that the work may be sup- Vported near the base of the needle and the needle thus relieved of strainduring the feeding movement) the shifting-plate moves forwardly, the `needle-remaining in its uppermost position duringfsubstantially the time occupied by this forward :shifting movement of the vplate 54. It is of course. during this shifting movement that the'w'ork is fed, andA IOO it is during this period ofelevation of the needle `that the thread-layingidevices lay .the

thread .across the needle. The necessary feed having been effected, the shifting or'feed plate --54 remains in its forward position and the needle descends, the shifting-plate commencing to return to normal-position during such descent of the needle and 'after the needle has backed out ofthe work in order to return the needle to the horizontal position in which it starts itscycle of movements. The needle thenrises slightly in order to permittheloop to be placed upon ythe looptalze-ofi, whereupon the needle descends to lowerrnost position (as the loop take-off carries the loop away IIO from the needle) and then rests, the backward I shifting of the needlehaving been completed before the needle completes its downward movement. y Y

We have provided means for regulating the feed of the needle, and lthus regulating the length of the stitch, and this means will now be described. The groove -67 in the rock-V arm 68 extends across the center of oscillation of the rock-shaft 69. It will therefore be apparent that the amount of throw of the shiftingplate 54 is controlled by the position of the block 66 in the said groove,'the maximum throw being given the plate when the said block is at the point farthest removed from the center of oscillation of the rock-shaft, and the said shifting-plate having no movement should the said block be thrown into position substantially coincident with the center of oscillation of the rock-shaft. Many means canbe provided for locking the arm Ain adjusted positions, and we have here shown the said arm elongated to extend upon the side of its pivotal point opposite that upon which the block 66 is located, such extension being marked 73. A spring-actuated locking-dog 74 is slidably supported upon the said extension 7 8 and cooperates with any of a series of locking-notches 75, formed upon asegmental portion 76 of the shifting-plate 54.

The Z002) take-0,17', the Zoop-spectacle); and their operatie@ connect/0113. Supported upon the under side of the Work-table C and adapted to reciprocate in the line of feed is a plate 77, having depending legs or extensions 78, and connected to said plate and depending from the same is an arm 79, which supports a horizontal finger, said linger being the abovementioned loop-enterer and loop'itake-off or carrier J. This linger lies in line with the needle-opening 80 inthe work-table and has its forward end pointed, as shown at 81, there being a vertical slot 82 through the said finger and the under surface of said finger at a suitable point between the ends of said slot being notched, as shown at 88. A suitably-journaled rotatable shaft 84 carries a cam-arm or tappet 85, which lies intermediate the said legs 78, and a spring 86, connected to the supporting-standard and bearing against the forward end of the slidable plate 77, is preferably employed for returning the said plateto its normal or backward position and yieldingly holding said plate vin such position. Supported in suitable guides in the said plate 77 and upon the under side of the said plate is a horizontally-slidable plate 87 which has reciprocation in a line at right angles to that in which the plate 77 reciprocates, lthe plate 77 being preferably provided with lateral wings or extensions for giving a firm support to the slide-plate 87, so that said plate 77 presents the general appearance of a cross. Secured to the said plate 87 is lthe loop-spreader K, which comprises a horizontal linger 88, lying above and substantially in line with the linger J, the end of said linger of the loop-spreader being preferably pointed, as shown at 89, and the inner edge of said finger 8 8 being preferably provided with a thread-receiving notch 90.

Suitably journaled, as upon the beforementioned rock-shaft 57, is a lever 91', which extends in a generally horizontal line at suhstantially right angles to the said rock-shaft 57, said lever being connected at its free end with the substantially horizontal arm 92 of a bell-crank lever 93, whose substantially vertical arm 94 is connected to the before-nientioned loop-spreader slide-plate 87, the said bell-crank lever lying in a vertical plane at substantially right angles to the horizontal plane, including the said plate 87 and in such position that its arm 94 reeiprocates in substantially the line of reciprocation of the said plate.A The connection between the said arm 94 of the bell-crank lever and the said plate 87 is effected through an elongated pin 95, which projects laterally from said vertical arm 94 and extends through an enlargement or sleeve '96 upon the underside of said plate 87. Upon a'suitable horizontally-rotatable shaft parallel with the before-mentioned rock-shafts 57 and 69 (and here shown as the main shuttle-driving shaft 97) is a double tappet 98, which lies above and is adapted to strike and operate the lever 91, the tappet 98 being shown as a double one for the reason that it happensV in the present machine to be uponra shaft which makes one revolution to each two cycles of operations of the stitchforming devices. In the present organization the tappet or cam-arm 85 is upon the shaft 84, which makes two revolutions to each revolution of the said shaft 97, carrying the double tappet 98, said shaft 84 being driven in a manner to be hereinafter fully explained.

Referring now particularly to Figs. 3, 9, 12, and 18 and to the diagrams Figs. 22 to 26, when in normal positions the parts J and l( lie as indicated in Figs. 9, 12, 13, and 224i. 1., the fingers J and K lie horizontally and to one side of the line in which the loop will be formed as the needle descends, the pointed ends of said lingers lying toward the vertical line in which the loop will extend. After the needle has descended, and thus pulled the thread below the loop take-olf J, the tappet strikes the forward leg 78 and throws the slidable plate 77 forwardly in the line of feed, such forward movement of said plate causing the pointed end of the finger J to open the loop and also causing the loop-spreader K to enter the said loop. The said parts J and l( come to rest with the slot 82 above and inline with the needle, the notches 83 above and in line )Vith the loop, and the notch in the side of the loop-spreader in line with the side of the loop which comes from the take-up. The pin is of such length that the plate 77 is permitted to move into the position just indicated and to carry the plate 87 with it without breaking the connection between said plate 87 and the vertical arm 94 of the bell-crank lever. The parts having reached thc positions indicated, the tappet 98 strikes the lever 91,where upon the bell-crank lever 98 is rocked upon its pivot and the plate 87 is shifted in a line at right IOO angles to that in'which the plates 77 and 87have previously-moved, this shifting of the-plate 87 causing the" loop-spreader K toengage one threadl of the loop (that coming'directly from the take-olif) .and to thus spread the loop for the entrance ofthe pointv of the shuttle. Previousto the completion of this loop-spreading movement of the loop-spreader the needle has risen" to carry itsbarb above the under surfaceof the loop take-ofi' J, theneedle entering the before-mentioned slot 82, so thaty as-lthe` loop-spreader spreads the loop the threadis drawn into the notches 83 ofthe loop take-off, themovernents oi' the parts-being vsuch that the thread is not pulled across and in' engagement with the barb of the needle.

A spring 99, .preferably acting upon either the bell-.cranlrlever' 93er the lever 91, returns the plate 87', with its loop-spreader, to normal position, and the spring y86 returns the loop take-off J to normal position, the said take-ofi carrying the loop away from-the needle during said return movement of said take-oil and theneedle-descending toits lowermost position duringsaid lnovementoi the take-off.

By reason of the construction above indicated we are enabled to -properly spread the loop without any danger of drawing the thread across the barb of the needle, and thus cutting or weakening the thread, and the loop. is positively taken fromthe needle and presented to the shuttle. i Furthermore, the parts J and .K forma loopspreading mechanism inde-" pendent ofthe needle. v

The shuttle cmd s actuating mecLcmz'sm.

The shuttle I comprises a generally circular member having a cut-away portion 100, by l means of which the point 101is produced, and there is also-produced the wall or surface 102,

adapted to be engaged by the hereinafter-mentioned driving-lugs. as showny atl 103, forthe purpose or' receiving the bobbin 104, a plate 105 holding the bobbin .in place in any suitable manner and being proy` `vided With` an openingl 106 for the passage ofy the bobbin-thread. The periphery of the shut- 'tle is provided with arib 107, adapted to'operate in a-groove 108,'said groove being concentricfwith the shuttle and being conveniently yproduced by'forminga shoulder 109 inthe lshuttle -fsupporting ymember and securing a guard-.platel'lO `to said supportingrnernber in .such. rnannerthatv the groove 108 is formed; vbetween the said shoulder and the said guardl member, the -rib 107 lying Vbetweenthe saidy elements. `Pivotal ly supported `upon the standard is a. plate 111, which is adapted to be thrown across a portionV of the face'of the plate 105,

lthis locking-plate 111 being provided with a' depression 112, in which is received kan eccentric projection 113 upon the'plate105. VThus the bobbin is prevented Jfrom rotating with the shuttle. The locking-plate 111,is preferably yieldingly heldin closed position, as by means of a spring'114. y f

The shuttle is recessed,

`fixed portion lof the machine.

Secured to thehereinbefore-mentioned shaft v 84 is a driving-platell, upon whose outer surface are the before-mentioned driving-lugs l 116, tliese-.lugsl being adaptedin the rotation of the driving-plate to engage the before-v Amentioned wall or surface 102 of the shuttle,

and thus carry the` shuttle with saiddrivi'ngplate. `The hereinbeore-mentioned rotatable shaft 97 is provided with a gear 117, and this Y gear is in driving connection with they gear 118 .upon the shaft 84, such connection being conveniently eeeted through the intermediate gear 119.- Therei'ore the rotation of the shut-Y '7,

tle is controlled by the rotation ofthe drivingshaft 97, and as one of the driving-lugs 116 lies between the before-mentioned shuttle-'wall 102 and the shuttle-point 101 ysaid lug serves to prevent undesired movementof the shuttle after the driving-plate 115 has come to rest. There is suliicient yspace between the lockingplateI 111 and theface of the shuttle and the -lution to carry the loop about the bobbinthread, and `then coming to rest in order to permit the loop-thread to be slowly vdrawn 1, taut, the driving-shaft 97 is intermittently rotated in the manner -to be now described, ref`` TOO .erence beinghad particularly to Figs. 3, 14,

and 15 and the diagrams illustrated in Figs.

29 and 81. The driving-shaft 97 is provided with a non-circularportion-120, and loosely .mounted upon the said shaft, as between one .end of said non-circularportion and a suitable standard 121, is a gear ,12.2, provided with a plate'123, having pin-receiving openings 124.

Slidable upon said non-circular portion 1201- is a clutch-sleeve 125, which has a peripheral pins 127, adapted to venter vthe before-mentioned openings 124 in the loose driving-gear,

the-other face of the'said clutchsleeve being provided` with openings 128,adaptedv to ref ceive pins 129, projecting from any relatively Preferably openings,l` are bored -entirely through 'the Vclutch-'sleeve in both of the anges upon the sides of thebefore-mentioned peripheral recess 120, said'openings being in line with each IIO recess 126 and is provided upon one side with other, whereby they can be; readily produced,

andthe pins 127 are'driven or otherwise securein the openings upon the desiredside vof` the clutch-sleeve.y JIt isto be noted that the `pins 127 and 129 are of suchlength that the clutch-sleeve is always in enga-gement with 1 either the pins upon the relatively iiXed supl,

port or the said driving-gear-the pins-129,l for example, entering the openings 128 before groove 126 in the `clutch-sleeve 125.'

the pins 127 leave the openings 124. rlhus as the pins 129 are in fixed positions and by reason `of the mechanism hereinafter described the driving-gear 122 always comes to rest in a given position, the clutch-sleeve when about to be shifted is always guided into the desired new position.

Suitably pivoted, as upon the stud 130, is a rocking plate 131, provided with a segmental gear 132, which meshes with the before-mentioned driving-gear 122, and pivoted upon the before-mentioned rock-shaft 30 is a lever 133, which is preferably connected to the said rocking plate by means of a link 134, said lever being provided with a cam-roll 135, which enters the cam-groove 136 in one face of the cam block or disk 5, this cam-groove being shown most clearly in Fig. 29.

Suitably pivoted, as upon the stud 136, is a lever 137, whose lower free end is provided with a yoke 138, the arms of said yoke being received in the before-mentioned periphSeral aid lever 137 is provided with a cam-roll 139, which enters a cam-groove 14() in the periphery of the cam-disk 5, the said cam-groove being shown developed in Fig. 31. The segmental gear-plate 131 serves to impart rotary motion to the driving-gear 122, and the lever 137, with its yoke, of course controls the clutch-sleeve 125, 'by means of which said driving-gear 122 is operatively connected with the shaft 97.

Referring now more particularly to Figs. 29 and 31, it will be seen that when the parts are in what we have termed their normal positions, with the shuttle at rest, as shown in Fig. 9, rotation of the cam-disk 5 permits the segmental gear to remain at rest and also permits the clutch to remain at rest in the gearengaging position shown in Fig. 15, the peripheral cam shown in Fig. 31 then causing the clutch to be thrown into unlocking position, although it and the shaft 97 are held against rotation by reason of the engagement of the clutch-sleeve by the stationary pins 129. After the clutch has been thrown into such open position it rests in said position, while the segmental gear.- operating cam causes said gear to be thrown backwardly in order to place the same in driving position, the gear 122 merely idly rotating upon the shaft 97 as said segmental gear is thrown into its said backward or what may be termed operative position. After the segmental gear has reached the said position and while the same is at rest the clutch-sleeve is thrown into closed position, engaging the driving-gear 122,-

thus locking said gear in driving connection with the said shaft 97, and soon after the clutch-sleeve has thus locked the driving-gear y upon the said shaft the segmental gear-operating cam causes said gearto be thrown forwardly, and thus causes rotation of the shaft 97. From the time of the starting of the machine until this time, at which the segmental driving-gear commences its forward movement, the driving-shaft 97 has been at rest and has been locked in its position of rest by reason of the engagement of the clutch-sleeve with either the gear 122 when held against movement by the segmental driving-gear or the stationary pins 129. During about the last quarter of revolution of the cam-disk 5, however, andwhile the clutch-sleeve remains locked to the driving-gear 122 the shaft 97 is rotated. Consequently the shuttle is locked at rest from the time that the machine starts a cycle of revolutions until the segmental gear commences its forward or driving movement, the shuttle rotating during this period of driving movement of the segmental gear and moving through a complete revolution by reason of the proportions of the gears 117, 118, and 119 notwithstanding the fact that the shaft 97 may not be driven through a complete revolution.

T l1@ talee-up md its npc/'amie wwe/miriam. The take-up L and its operative mechanism are most clearly shown in Figs. 17 and 18, and Fig. 34 shows a development of the cam which controls the operation of said take-up. '.lhe take-up is a substantially horizontal bar horizontally slidable upon the machine-standard and is provided at its forward end with a suitable thread guiding and engaging member, such as the roller 141` the upper thread passing over fixed thread-guides 142 above and below the roller-carrying end of the take-11p, so that as said take-up moves backward] y thc thread is pulled. The machine is preferably provided with a tension device 143, which can be of any convenientconstruction. Suitahly pivoted upon the machine-standard is a lever 144, whose slotted free end receives a block 145, pivotally connected to the take-up bar, and said lever (or a rock-arm 146 upon a rockshaft 147, to which'the lever is fixed) is provided with a cam-roll 148, which enters a camgroove 149 in the periphery of the cam-disk .4. This cam-groove is of such character that through a portion of its whole length of movement in order to pay out suflicicnt thread for the formation of one side of the loop when said loop is in the lowermost position to which it is drawn by the needle, the thread thus given out by the take-up being stretched by the thread-laying devices. The take-u p then rests lOO '1in this partially-projected position' until morel Y' thread is needed by reason of the pulling of 'the loop, when' the take-up moves forwardly Ythroughfthe remaining .portion of its VIVwhole amount of travel in order tol permit the loop to be fully formed and carried'around by the shuttle, when thetake-up moves backwardly in order to draw the loop-thread taut, and thus .complete the stitch. Itis to b e'noted that the .take-up not only serves to pull up the loop,

butv also serves to'measur'e the thread necessary-for the formation of a stitch and pays out the thread thus measured oif in only suchlproportions and at such times as the said thread .is needed.
